Albeit, that goal was awarded in strange offside circumstances, the Red Devils failed to create much, with Bruno Fernandes spending more time trying to stop Erling Haaland rather than dictating play.Creating shouldn't be an issue against a Brighton side which has a tendency to concede chances, but at the other end of the pitch United will need to tighten it up.They have looked susceptible to conceding at any time and, with Carlos Baleba and Matthijs de Ligt still out, they have little option to change personnel at the back.SEE ALSO How to watch Carabao Cup 2026/27: TV Guide, Free Streams & Fixtures Round 3For Brighton, the Carabao Cup may not be a huge priority with Europe on the calendar and a strong start to the 2026/27 Premier League. But they appear a team who could make a deep run, all things considered.Going forward, they have been nothing short of magical so far this term and have already hit 17 goals in all competitions, including four against Aston Villa and five against Coventry on the weekend.But the Seagulls do have a stacked injury list and may not be able to afford many changes today if they envisage a place in the fourth round.Femi Azeez is a possibility to make his debut after signing from Millwall, while Georginio Rutter is expected to take some part following his injury.FourFourTwo's predictionManchester United 2-4 BrightonBrighton have won four of their last five visits to Old Trafford, and United's defence will leak plenty of goals again this Wednesday.DisclaimerWe test and review VPN services in the context of legal recreational uses.
